Oops I thought I published this

Does this make any sense? No.

Do I care? Also no.

Sorry if my updates are a bit slower from now on, as I'm kinda not supposed to be publishing these, because my parents don't really want me to. Oh well.

This is kind of a part two to Things That Make It Warm, so there is that

She rubs my back for me
On February 14th

Tango felt a gentle hand on his back. It softly rubbed the spot that made his tail subconsciously thump against the wooden crate he was sat on.

She says that I'll do great

"Hey,"

The netherborne glanced up at Jimmy's reassuring smile.

"You're gonna do great."

Tango brought his gaze back down.

That's not what's scaring me

That's not what's scaring me.

I get up on my feet
Give her one last hug

He stood up reluctantly, nerves making his knees buckle. Jimmy caught him, and turned it into a hug. Tango clutched the canary's jacket like his life depended on it. He never wanted to let go.

They're all waiting for me

"Come on," Jimmy murmured into the other's hair. "They're waiting for you."

I wish that was enough

I wish that was enough.

~~~

I got your letter

Tango whipped around to a sculk sensor going off, only to come face to face with a single canary perched on the wool. He put his finger to his lips, and the bird seemed to understand, as it made no sound when he untied the note from around its leg.

Hope you feel better than I do

He smiled as he watched it fly away, before turning to the letter in his hands. He already knew who it was from. It read three words:

I miss you

I miss you. Xx

She said she's here if I ever need someone to talk to

He still remembered the first night they met, in that cave. The other had turned to him, speaking the words,

"Y'know Tango, if you ever need someone to talk to, ever, I'm right here. Ever. Okay?"

Tango had replied with a smile and a nod.

But all I ever wanna talk about is you

Oh Jimmy,

He had thought.

You're all I ever want to talk about.

~~~

Think I zoned out again

The netherborne exhaled as he climbed the seemingly neverending ladder to the surface. He could hear the Warden following him far, far behind.

But I still tried my best

Just as he was about to pull himself out onto solid ground, his foot slipped on a rung. But before he could fall, a hand caught him by his collar. They pulled him up, and he grinned at his fellow Rancher. "Boy, am I glad to see you."

~~~

They said it's my best show

"You know what, Tango?" Laughed Grian, still staring in shock at the Warden trapped in the ravine. "I think this is probably one of your best shows!"
Pearl stepped beside her brother and peered down. "I'll second that!"

I hope you were impressed

Tango felt a surge of pride, and it only burned even brighter when he caught the gaze of a pair of sparkling brown eyes.

~~~

Just trying to buy more time, when as she'd go she'd say

Tango stumbled over his words, knowing how little sense he was making, but not really caring, as he just didn't want Jimmy to leave.

With one regretful smile

Jimmy smiled as he turned away, before stopping. He partially looked back over his shoulder, and said three words that stopped Tango's brain from functioning.

'Happy Valentine's Day'

"Happy Valentine's Day."

Feel my body falling away

Tango suddenly felt as though he was in the Void, falling, falling, falling with no end.

Feel my body falling away

He didn't know exactly what he was doing, but then he was running, running towards Jimmy, running, but it seemed as though he was getting further away, but he kept running-

And then their lips met.

And everything was perfect.
